Chicago Tribune ^ | August 30, 2009 | Mark Silva

President Barack Obama and his family returned to the White House today from a weeklong vacation on Martha's Vineyard interrupted by some big national stories.

But the president is planning to take the rest of the week off.

"The president will continue his vacation through the end of the week,'' the White House press secretary announced this evening -- with a note that the media will be informed "if any public events are added to the schedule.''

By all appearances; he and his family have never stopped vacationing.

You have that right!

If it’s not overseas it’s here! That is about all he and his EXTENDED family has done in eight months (except lecturing us)!

So I guess he won't be reading the Afghanistan assesment this week? Oh well...it's only American soldiers lives at risk right?

Zero needs to recouperate from the stress of being out on the Vineyard...

and I'm sure that everyone here, who has been there, knows how stressfull Martha's Vineyard can be right???

He needs MORE vacation? WTF? Paralyzed with indecision, afraid to hurt his poll numbers even more?

Something is going on that is not on the radar. I am very, very suspicious.

But he has yet to find the time to read the military assessment on Afghanistan.

Lives being lost, maimed, and dedicated while this buffoon goofs off.

I have been thinking the same thing all day. Are they (whoever they is) huddling for the next government grab? Is Soros giving him a lashing? Something is very strange here . . .

Personally I hope the socialist-fascist-commie pig bastard stays on vacation until he’s thrown out of office. Let his dimwitted followers (including highly educated, liberal retards) get all angry & agitated as they see their messiah commie pig spiral ever downward!!!

Oh so a week vacation is really a two week vacation.
Never announced for what is was by the press.

I think he never had the first vacation. He left Washington but failed to let go, then Teddy finally gave it up and died.

He is in very serious trouble and is in effect retreating to a secure bunker. Having never run the day to day operations of any thing coupled with his Messianic narcissism, he is facing a defeat like he has never conceived, much less experienced. His life sucks

What is this; the 10th or so vacation this idiot has taken?

Granted, he’s less likely to harm the country when on vacation but still!!

Didn’t the media lose their mind when Bush went to Crawford once a year?

You mean, America slowly recovers while the lazy kenyan plays golf. Zero is going to return to a different America when he comes back to work. Congress too.

Even Bill Clinton never complained of being exhausted by his vacation and GWB never said a peep, just went on down to Texas. \\

Something is happening,,we need a spy!

“....will continue his vacation through the end of the week.”

Why stop there? Continue to the end of your lame duck term.

This is a man who would be hard pressed to manage a convenience store. He is totally out of his element and frame of existence. I believe we may find out some day that during this time period he was falling apart psychologically. He simply has no experience in his past that would provide him with any capability of dealing with what is at hand. He is more than a fish out of water...he is a fish drowning in it’s own wake...

looking at the pic from the Chicago Tribune those 3 Debbie Downers behind Obeyme aren’t happy AT ALL ..their heads are down and they are grumpy.

Do these Debbie Downers deserve more vacay?

LOL I agree. I would have thought Michelle might get some sense knocked into her when she hit her head entering that airplane; but I suppose that’s too much to hope for.

They are just trying to take him out of the limelight because polling is telling them that he is overexposed and people are sick of him.

It won’t help, because in the meantime, he is ignoring the deteriorization in Afghanistan etc.

Obama is an illusion. The dems as usual, failed to understand that even a star has his limits.

They have overreached and shown their hand. People now know about his radical communist czars and the commie trajectory that they are taking this nation. They are watching him free terrorists and sell the US down the tubes with their pandering to the enemies..

The Obama admin and the dems are going to pay for their treachery.

I am beginning to think they are wishing to spend as much time as possible outside of the beltway, especially MO. Perhaps she believed she’d be an instant star.

Ain’t happen’.

Wouldn’t you be :-(( if the helo prop wash blew off your wig ?
And your clothes were lost and you had to wear a dress
and men’s water sandals ?
The little ones are obviously going through sugar withdrawal-
must be a couple of hours since they were taken for their twice daily ice cream fix.
